Cirque Mechanics in a Birdhouse Factory


Tuesday, November 10

Concert Hall   7:30 pm

$35, $25, $15, Five College/GCC/STCC and Youth 17 and under: $15 

When world-renowned circus stars dream up a factory, it is no ordinary industrial plant. It’s a wild and wonderful workshop where the machines are circus props and the workers are acrobats, dancers, contortionists, and clowns. It’s Birdhouse Factory by Cirque Mechanics, an extraordinary troupe of Cirque du Soleil, Pickle Family Circus, and Moscow Circus veterans who transform the mundane into the magnificent.

Funded in part by the Expeditions program of the New England Foundation for the Arts, made possible with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional support from the six New England state arts agencies.
